I am thinking of putting this over my bar which divides my kitchen from my family room. Do you think it will work. I am afraid that sitting at the bar, the light will get in my eyes Thanks

Yes!!! You can do it. I bough it with the same intention, but I could't do it because I couldn't embedded the base in the ceiling, and I did not like how looked the upper box of the lamp facing the family room.

I see no reason that it would not work. It can be easily adjusted to put light where you need it. You may use up a lot of batteries if you use this area frequently.

Definitely should. It's bright. Safe distance I'd say is within 5' away and giving you a solid 3' wide lighting area. It's a spot light less "fanning" more direct beam.

Well, for sure the light(s) would be good-looking in your kitchen. The issue would be ENOUGH LIGHT to cover what you want in the way of prep and cooking. Ours is over the dining table with a low-energy bulb and it takes awhile to heat up for brightness. Hope this helps.

Probably. It's pretty voluminous to keep directly in front of you. It's not obnoxious and it doesn't hurt your eyes to stare into it but it is a very bright soft beam. When I have it on in my room in the evening its the only light i need on. It lights up a room better than any of my table lamps. My boss kept one in his office but it was a huge office and he's a dramatic guy. He also kept it behind him instead of in front of him.

Hi..I don't think it would cover a bar..maybe 4 ft? You might put something over the bar to hang down and use this as a lower border..it is really pretty

Only if viewed from far away would this work - or as mentioned before screened by perhaps a small lip "hiding" the lights. I have installed these under my cabinets in the kitchen an this worked out very well - also I had mounted a few on top of my ceiling fans (pointing up to the ceiling) thus hiding the lights but producing an indirect lighting effect

We have a breakfast bar too, but no cabinet above it. The one thing that might bother you is seeing the actual light fixture if you're going to be eating right under it. It's not pretty especially since you have to attach the adapter right next to it. If you have a lightrail around your cabinet, you may not see it (needs to be at least 1.5"), and would definitely look great. The light is very pleasing to the eyes, we use it in the morning all the time, as opposed to regular recessed lighting. Also at night it makes for a pretty cool night light! Did I mention the lights don't get hot?

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want. I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

I guess it would work in a covered area. The light isn't that bright though. Maybe equivalent to a very bright nightlight, but with larger radius.

It would look nice, but it does not put out a lot of light. It would really depend on how much light you need in that space.

DeeDoo, of course it depends on the size of your kitchen. We are using it in a relatively modest size bathroom and it does a good enough job. However, the bathroom is narrow. If you have a square shaped kitchen, and the light is flush with your ceiling it may not be providing enough light on the periphery. It is pointing downward. Again, nice light for narrow spaces. Also, it has a matte screen, so not terribly bright for working area of a kitchen.Hope this helps.

I think it would work. It's not as bright as the overhead light I have, but it lights the room pretty well.

I have this beautiful light fixture in my kitchen. It is not a huge kitchen and the ceiling are about 7.5 to 8 feet high and it looks lovely in this area. It does cast some prism type effects from the design but it is really pretty don't think it would effect reading as I do that a lot in my kitchen. I don't think it would disturb TV viewing the shadows it casts are close to the ceiling and upper walls. Hope this helps. Jeanne Fitzpatrick Andover, MA USA

The light is bright enough to illuminate a front door area. You should consider how you will be placing the light with respect to the motion sensor. I had this light at my front door but I placed it to high so the motion sensor lost its range. It worked for me but I have re-located this light to my garage.

Yes, that would work. While I do not find it too bright at all (maybe half as bright as an iphone screen), I do think that covering part of it with masking tape or (even better) electrical tape would decrease the light output.

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?
